I'm not sure any of those countries is technically "socialist."

However, it appears you're making the same mistake you've made with global warming, in that you have assumed that a strong correlation between "happiness" and high taxes implies that high taxes are the cause of the happiness. That, of course, is a fundamentally erroneous conclusion.

The important point is that Sanders' philosophy -- and yours, I suppose -- would put government, which can't manage anything at all, in charge of a vastly larger portion of the economy.

In tiny little countries -- like the Nordic countries -- government isn't the bureaucratic sludge it is here. Walmart could administer these countries without a blip.

We have seen, over the last 7 years, what happens when you install an absolute idiot in the White House.
